Take your time and if you make a mistake, forget about it - don't dwell on it or you will make more mistakes.

Driving test I'm guessing?

If yes, then basically just concentrate and make sure you check your mirrors when your driving along, look out for anyone at crossings etc and make sure you indicate :D

Don't worry is the main thing. I did mine on Monday and passed. The main thing to remember is that you are good enough to pass, and if you drive like you do with your instructor you will. You are allowed plenty minor faults so if you do make a mistake or two, it isn't the end of the world. Just stay calm and drive carefully, its safety that they're really after!

yeh good luck, try not to be too nervous. Treat it like another lesson. Just remember to ALWAYS check your mirrors, before during and after everything you do! Agree with the lad above, they are just interested in safety!

as for tupac, just stay calm, don't worry about what you think you've done because instructors sometimes seem suprisingly leanient on certain things. :)
